Holiday Book Tree
Cornell Cooperative Extension of Herkimer County will be collecting books this holiday season for needy children throughout the area.

These books will be donated to the Even Start Program, a family literacy program which supports families by providing resources to upgrade basic skills and learn ways of being their child’s first teacher.

New or “gently-used” books for young children are requested.

If you have any books that you would be willing to donate, please drop them off at the Cornell Cooperative Extension office at 5657 State Route 5 in East Herkimer during business hours, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. If needed, other times can be arranged.

Please call Cornell Cooperative Extension of Herkimer County at 315.866.7920 for more information.

“Eat Well, Eat Local and Eat Together” (nicknamed Eat3) describes a campaign that began last fall as a pilot effort from the Healthy Start Partnership in six upstate New York counties which included Herkimer County. The goal of the campaign continues to help families choose, prepare, and enjoy healthy meals together using locally-grown produce.

One meal will be featured July through November to give you ideas to help you “Eat 3″. The website www.eat3.org features these monthly meals along with more recipes, tips, games, and a chance to share your comments and questions about the recipes and eating together. You can also register on the website to be entered into a monthly drawing for a $50 grocery store gift card!
